On the south and east coast of Mallorca there is a large number of marinas and beautiful bays, which are ideal not only for swimming and anchoring, but also for sailing. 30 miles from Palma, on the southern tip of Mallorca, the island of Cabrera is located- a must- to-see during a yacht charter. Each charter customer should know that the island and the water belongs to a nature reserve. An official permit should definitely be sought before any yacht charter which is available through us or at the port authorities. Only a certain number of yachts are authorized in the area of Cabrera, which are only allowed to berth on one of the buoys.
